This collection is not housed at the Houghton Library but is shelved offsite at the
Harvard Depository. Retrieval requires advance notice. Readers should check with
Houghton Public Services staff to determine what material is offsite and retrieval
policies and times.

Requests to publish material from these dispatches should be addressed to both
Houghton Library and Time, Inc. Time, Inc. may not be able to authorize publication
in the case of dispatches from freelance correspondents. In that case it is the
responsibility of the user to solicit the owner of the literary property for any
material that is in copyright.

Images linked to this finding aid are intended for public access and educational use.
This material is owned and/or held by the Houghton Library, and is provided solely
for the purpose of teaching or individual research. Any other use, including
commercial reuse, mounting on other systems, or other forms of redistribution
requires the permission of the curator.

The dispatches are arranged chronologically by the date sent (which is sometimes but
not always earlier than the date received). Each item number corresponds to a folder
containing the dispatches from usually 1-5 days. Within each day, domestic
dispatches come first, then foreign.

During this period, the dispatches from correspondents are mostly photocopies of
teletypes. The copies were made and distributed to those on particular circulation
lists. Some of these lists included Roy Larsen, and it is his copies that form the
present collection.

In these dispatches, education is the predominant subject, but there are many
dispatches on other, mostly domestic political, subjects. The Bay of Pigs invasion
of 1961 and the assassination of the President in 1963 are two examples of
well-documented events, but coverage of the war in Vietnam is patchy. The series of
"story suggestions" from the Washington bureau continues through these years.
